Chapter 1806: Like a broken bamboo
Half a month later, the Ottoman border city is still in peace.
Then they noticed that countless military horses began to cross the bridge, attacked the post, and then began an offensive.
The border of more than 100 kilometers is full of beacon fires, the roar of artillery, and gunpowder smoke.
Once the cannon arrived in the city, and after the roar, the defenders lost their helmets and abandoned their armor, and fled.
Istanbul.
This huge capital across two continents, the center of the entire world island.
At this time, I just received the battle book about Daming.
The Ottoman army has just gone through the war with Spain. In North Africa, the war is still going on, and at this time, the Ottoman navy has also been destroyed.
Although they are still exhausted, the offensive has begun to come to a halt.
But at this time, Sulaiman became furious after learning that Daming had fallen into trouble.
He immediately summoned his officials and was promoted to the newly built Golden Temple in the palace.
Hundred officials stood down, and Suleyman in the high position just watched the ministers remain silent and kept silent.
He is an ambitious man, even if he has encountered such a major event, he still acts calmly.
Now that Confucianism has been promoted for a long time, the hundreds of civil and military officials have already looked a little bit. Everyone bowed down and shouted long live three times. Suleiman only nodded his head.
Immediately
The temple fell silent.

At this time, Li Zheng, the minister of rites, stood up.
Li Zheng was hit in Daming, but after returning to China, he finally slowly regained Suleiman’s trust.
In fact, Suleiman knew that Li Zheng’s ability might be mediocre, and he likes to speak empty words, but such a person is exactly what he needs.
Sometimes people always need to keep some waste around.
Nothing else
Because there is no shortage of capable people in this world.
The capable people are often arrogant and defiant, even if they are disrespectful to the emperor.
Therefore, there are wastes like Li Zheng, who beat them every other time, so that I can sit back and relax.
Therefore, after the failure of Daming’s strategy, Li Zheng not only was not punished, but he also regained his trust.
At this time, Li Zheng walked to the hall, then bowed down, kneeled three times and prostrated on the ground, but did not get up.
The Ming of this era is not like a certain dynasty in later generations, and bows frequently.
Kneeling is exquisite.
For example, in ordinary times, when you meet the emperor, you can just make a bow.
If it is an important occasion, it is necessary to bow down and salute.
Of course, this worship service is not about kneeling all the time, but just after the ceremony.
The so-called rituals, in fact, also pay attention to the point and stop.
Therefore, in many court paintings, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty traveled, and very few ministers kept bowing down, but most of them just stood and waited for the driver.
However, after Li Zheng and other scholars arrived in Ottoman, they thought it was out of fashion.
The Ottoman emperor, such a sage, can be compared with the ancient holy king.
Since this is the case, it is reasonable for the courtiers to be submissive.
After Li Zheng saluted, he did not get up, continued to bow down, and then said: “Your Majesty, the minister has heard that Daming declared war on my Ottoman. It is ridiculous that the Emperor Daming is so aggressive. Like a clown jumping off a beam, the thief army is coming. The minister begs your Majesty to give him a partial division, and the minister will take care of the thief’s army.”
Sulaiman is very satisfied with Li Zheng’s attitude.
Not only is he obedient, but at this critical moment, he can say such beautiful words.
In fact, Suleiman was not unaware of the flattery in his words.
But Suleiman also needs to use Li Zheng’s words to calm people’s hearts.
Sulaiman said: “How long will it take for them to declare war and mobilize soldiers and horses?”
Li Zheng and others said one after another: “Your Majesty, it will be difficult to succeed in less than a year or a half.”
“Can you cross the desert and the Gobi between the two countries?”
“Your Majesty, it’s hard to say.”
The Hanlins have said something to me. In a word: “This is a great moat. It is extremely difficult. I am afraid that within a year or two, it may not be possible to mobilize the army and approach the city.”
Suleiman smiled. He is a good soldier.
Of course, he also agrees.
Marching and mobilizing troops, where is it easy.
It will take more than half a year for Ottoman to assemble his army. This involves the transportation of countless money and food, and the gathering of troops from all walks of life. This is definitely not something that can be done all at once.
What’s more, the opponent is an expedition. To some extent, Osman has a huge advantage.
Time is still too late.
Seeing that Li Zheng had already asked for a fight, the Hanlins were excited at this moment, and those who were unwilling to lag behind said one after another: “Your Majesty, please go to the border town personally to fight the thieves.”
“The thieves are so happy. The so-called belligerent must die. They came today, and I waited to occupy the land and teach them that there is no place to bury them.”
Suleiman’s face is slightly better.
Then he turned his head and looked at other local old ministers. These old ministers also seemed to want to say something. Loyal, but the Confucian officials were clamoring and excited, all quoting scriptures and talking, they didn’t know what to say.
Suleiman smiled and said: “I have always been in harmony with the Ming Dynasty. Who would have thought that Daming was actually a wolfish ambition. It would be tolerable to provoke his side.”
He was halfway through, just at this moment
An eunuch came hurriedly from outside. The voice said: “Your Majesty, Urgently, Urgently, Baku for help.”
Everyone was stunned at this moment.
Suleiman nowadays, what he hates most is being interrupted when he speaks. He used to talk to those Kashas often In such a situation, after the Confucian officials entered the court, he began to enjoy the feeling that everyone listened to him when he spoke.
But now
he suddenly got up with a sullen face.
Because he can’t care about anything at this time.
Baku
Baku is the location of the Ottoman side town!
This place is close to the Caspian Sea, between Daming and Ottoman, bypassing the desert and a blank area of grassland.
There are many nomadic tribes here.
But once you cross this area, Baku is the center of the Ottoman town.
But how is this possible?
When the Zhanshu started from Daming, only four months had passed!
In four months,
“Is it a small group of Ming army harassment?”
“No.” The eunuch cried out and said, “Baku Kaxia. The newspaper, there are Ming troops everywhere, covering the sky. Not only Baku, but the nearby city fortresses were attacked within a few days. Baku is already in danger, and it is very likely that it has been lost now.”
Suleiman’s face suddenly turned miserable!
He couldn’t understand why the army was assembled so quickly?
How did their supplies come from?
This is a rush of thousands of miles.
Suleiman shuddered, and then his eyes fell on the ministers.
Li Zheng is already confused.
At this time, he decided not to mention anything about taking a partial division to resist the Ming army.
For a long time, he said: “The Ming army, the Ming army, the Ming army ran for thousands of miles. It must be difficult for them to supply their supplies. Your Majesty, you only need to stand firm and clear the fields and avoid war with them. Go back.”
And the Hanlin people are silent, you look at me, I look at you.
Suleiman’s face was pale: “Declare the decree, gather the army”
In fact, when the Baku’s request for help was sent to Istanbul, the Ming army not only broke Baku, And has penetrated hundreds of miles into the enemy’s territory.
The cities are broken.
When the army entered the city, the local Confucian scholars gathered together. These trembling Confucian scholars knelt down beside the road, greeted the king, and said flattering and deferential words.
Fortunately, the army entered the city and did not start killing.
Instead, he immediately posted the bulletin to appease the people.
Immediately the mansion library began to be sealed, and all order was re-established.
Although the Confucian scholars could not resist the Ming army, they could settle the people for the Ming army, but they played a huge role.
They immediately began to preach the Ming Army’s policies everywhere in the city, saying that as long as they did not resist, they would never infringe.
If there are thieves in the city who dare to disrupt the order, they will kill them.
The household register in Baku has begun to make sense, and order is soon restored.
The nobles and wealthy families in the city were all invited, so that they don’t have to worry.
The soldiers of the new army are guarded inside and outside the city. The military discipline is very high, and there is hardly any disturbance.
The people in Baku were finally relieved.
